Page 48 of the rulebook (2nd R&E), in the "Archaic Starship Piloting" section, refers to "primitive Orion-style ships". Does anyone know what this is referring to?

I believe the History Channel did a documentary on this some years ago; I believe the title of it was They Called it Orion. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a copy of it & I've not seen it anywhere since.

Huh, it's kind of strange that they included a real "Earth-based" system as an example of archaic starships. Thanks for the info - I just wondered if there was something in the Expanded Universe related to Orion-style ships.
